Career with the Government (1991)
At the Dental Specialist Clinic, Dr Joon worked under the leadership of Dato' Dr Tan Nam Hoo and Dr Chen Siew Lian.

Here she had extensive hands on experience in treating accident victims and also in specialised treatments such treating maxillo facial injuries.

In 1993 Dr Joon was offered the position of Dental Surgeon in charge of the Tangkak sub-district. This position was based in the Tangkak Hospital's Dental Clinic where Dr Joon was to manage the day-to-day operations. There were a total of 12 direct staff members and the clinic managed preventive treatments in more than 30 schools in the sub-district.

She was also involved in the treatment via mobile operations in rural areas and aboriginal (Perkampungan Orang Asli) villages in the Tangkak area.

The management exposure received in this attachment proved very valuable during the years to come while she embarked on private practice.

Private Practice (1997)

The partners of Joon Dental Clinic feel that her management experience and exposure in a variety of types of treatments and working environment would benefit our patients very much in her being able to make good judgment on the choices of treatment that best fits a situation.

The inception of Joon Dental Clinic is a humble start of a journey ...
